Haven’t you noticed that almost all of us live a “sinful” eating habit? It’s quite easy. You do prefer steaks over salads, right? How about that blueberry cheese cake over that yogurt for dessert? Did I mention double pepperoni and cheese over some veggies? Fact is we crave what is almost unhealthy for us. Most of us are voracious eaters and don’t really care what we put in our mouth at times. If we do, it’s because we’ve been diagnosed for an ailment after leading a life of carefree eating. Candidiasis is one ailment that hits the gluttons of eating. Do not laugh as this isn’t a ludicrous statement. Some of us have it without even knowing it. See a doctor.

Candidiasis is a fungal infection that encompasses both superficial and systemic. Candidiasis superficially will cause inflammation and discomfort but what really is the alarming type is the systemic type as this is a potentially life-threatening disease. Symptoms of such vary depending on where is the affected region. Candidiasis can be treated with drugs, pills and creams. What will be asked from you though is a 360 degree lifestyle change. This is unfortunately a must for people suffering from such.

Like many serious ailments, Candidiasis will demand that you eat the right, healthy food and lead a very healthy lifestyle. Say goodbye to guilty pleasure like chocolates and booze. Say hello to yogurts and the like. Vegetables will be an integral part of the diet though not all are given the green light to be munched on. Starchy vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, corn, peas and etc should be avoided. Other than the aforementioned, almost all vegetables are good for the diet. This will suck mold and sugar and starve the fungus of the regular diet that feeds it as they are also low in fat and calories. Vegetables should be taken raw and fresh. This is a good source of dietary fiber and will give us all the extra energy we need for our daily tasks. Protein is also a part of the diet. Beef, chicken and fish are a healthy source of protein. Where is pork? Pigs usually eat dirty things. Enough said.

Herbs and spices should also be considered in the diet. They are good anti-oxidants that maintain your best health. These are even known to fight cancer and coronary heart ailments. It should aid in the Candida issue as well. What’s best about this is that this will add flavor to the already limited and bland diet that is being enforced unto you. Since we are in the topic of anti-oxidants, how about teas? Did you know that Tea is the second most widely consumed beverage in the world? Second only to water (duh)… With that in mind, how about drinking and consuming a healthy beverage instead of any other regular drink? This prevents blood clotting, lower cholesterol levels, deactivate cancer promoters and help stimulate the immune system that Candida itself is destroying. Before you do munch on anything next time, ask yourself “Will this food lead me to Candida and eventually make me eat raw garlic for breakfast?” Good for you Mr. Halitosis.

It is important to learn about the fertilization process in order to determine the right type of diet to conceive a boy. When the sperm and egg unite, the interaction of the X-chromosomes from the female egg and the Y-chromosomes from the male sperm begins to occur.

The sperms which carry Y-chromosome may move faster than the ones which carry the X-chromosome but it is generally less resilient in dealing with the acidic environment of the woman’s reproductive system. Therefore, it can be assumed that modifying one’s diet by consuming food with higher alkaline content can increase the chances of a couple to have a male offspring.

Since Y-chromosomes are developed on more delicate conditions because of existing acidity of the female reproductive environment, it is imperative that the woman who wants to have a male offspring modify her pH levels. It has to be controlled to prepare a more appropriate condition to conceive a baby boy. This is done by modifying one’s diet high in alkaline content to moderate acidity and allow the Y-chromosome to successfully develop.

As the pH level becomes acceptable, the mother’s diet to increase chances of conceiving a boy can begin. This should be accompanied by consumption of foods with higher concentration of calcium and potassium. She needs to take mineral supplements as well.

Foods which can affect the baby’s gender
High-calorie foods. According to a British study, out of 740 women 56% who were on high calorie diet were able to conceive male babies while only 45% of those consuming low-calorie diet conceived baby boys. They concluded that women who are pregnant have to increase their regular intake by 400 calories at the least in order to conceive boys.

Cereals for breakfast. This is to make sure that there are adequate levels of glucose in the body. When the body system perceives the woman planning to get pregnant does not receive adequate amounts of food and calories, according to the study this condition promotes development of a female embryo.

Alkaline-rich foods. These are broccoli, cauliflower, watermelon, pumpkin, lemon, tomato, cabbage, and lettuce. These are the food varieties that can make the reproductive tract of the female body become less acidic. When this happens, the environment for Y-chromosome carrying sperm is more suitable for it to survive.

Potassium-rich foods, vitamins (B12, C, and D), and salty foods are important in the diet to conceive a boy. Banana, avocado, artichoke, strawberry, apple as well as almond, fig, nuts, raisin and potato are rich in potassium and other nutrients.

If necessary to consume meat products, red meat like steak is a better choice since it has high potassium content.

Avoid acidic foods and maintain a balanced diet

Avoid eating cold fruits. They are more beneficial when eaten at room temperature. Yogurt, legumes, and cheese are the types of food that promote conception of a female baby. These foods increase the pH levels of the female reproductive tract.

Aside from the females, the males also need to maintain a balanced diet. In addition to considering a diet to conceive a boy, antioxidants, folic acid, zinc sulfate, and selenium have shown efficacy in promoting optimal health and functioning of the sperm.
